Visio 2003

[Furton]

Hey, new memeber here with a quick question.

In University I've been doing GUI designs with VISIO 200 but I've not come home to finish it off and I'm using VISIO 2003 here, is there anyway of importing the old style sets into VISIO 2003 as I don't want to use the XP style since most of it is done in the old Windows style.

Currently I'm just copying and pasting the old buttons e.t.c that I've already made and changing them which takes time.

Any help appriviated
Cheers

You can copy the Visio 2000 stencils to Visio 2003 and Visio will update the stencil to Visio 2003 format. Make sure you do not replace a Visio 2003 stencil with the same name. If you no longer have access to the old stencil, the drawing you are working on may contain the shapes you need. Each time you drag a new shape from a stencil a copy of that shape is stored in a local stencil within the Visio drawing.

When it is time to return to school save your drawing as a Visio 2000/2002 drawing. THe file format changed and you can not open a Visio 2003 drawing with Visio 2000.
